j,they will readily agree with anyone 1 regarding anything. The Cowardly Man will not stick by his convictions in the face of opposition. In politics, in religion, in town matters, and in all other things he lacks the mofal courage to take a pronounced stand on either side If you were to tell him the moon was made of brick cheese he would readily admit it in preference to risk offending you by disputing. This species of the human family is rare, usually; just at this time however, the coming election has developed quite a few. We can’t exactly blame them in this particular instance, for verily, ’tis better to be a prosperous coward than a bankrupt business man. ' There Has been some comment on the matter appearing under the head of “The Coming Election” that appears on the front page. We have taken no part in the coming election having decided that the sentiment of our subscribers was pretty evenly divided and the question was one that had been dis- | cussed at great length many times

MARCH 7th and Bth One year ago when we came to Syracuse we were entire strangers to you. Neither did we know anything about the retail business. We however had had quite a little experience with farm machinery and gas engines as we were reared on a farm equipped with all °* chinery. We could, not even tie up a pound of nails sothat they would stay until the customer got them home. a Now things are quite different. By special effort and the kind assistance and advice of Mr. Minear, an experienced salesman, we have become acquainted not only with the business but with the people. We feel that we have many friends who are willing to trust us. In order that we may become better acquainted and so that you may know just what we have which you need we are giving this first annual opening. * Program and List of Articles Given Away Free FRIDAY SATURDAY 10 to 12.

before and as a consequence far better that the Journal should remain neutral for business and other reasons. ,T° go back to the matter of the article on the first page: These are paid for at our regular advertising rates by the Law and Order League and our columns are open to both sides at the same rates. We make this explanation so. that we may head off both praise and criticism should there be any inclination on the part of our readers to do either. When Inquiring about a legal notice last week, we were informed, that a publisher of a paper located, just west of Syracuse’ had offered to print it for half the regular rates. This method is what what makes the rating of the printing business lower than any other industry and shows a lack of business acumen. There Is a wide difference of opinion among attorneys as to the application of the registry law to the election this spring. Some hold that this law applies to general elections only and others that it in-.

eludes all.’ The matter will be settled definitly before the local election. It Is a Pity that the coming spring election can not settle the saloon question in Syracuse for all time to come. More friction is caused by this ever recurring clash than by all other of the town’s problems combined. A Farm Bargain. real bargain, this is your chance. I have 40 acres near Millersburg, on main traveled road, level, good house, small bam, other out buildings, 30 rods to school, some saw timber, at $2250. This farm will only be on the market one week at this unusual price. W .G. Connolly. Pointing And Paper Hanging. S. J. will do painting and paper hanging. First-class work and reasonable prices.

38 YEARS AGO. Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Feb. *25, |875. Curcuit court is in session at Warsaw, Judge E. V. Long on the bench. Why is a beautiful lady.s foot like a romantic tale of olden times? Because it is an interesting leg-end. Mr. G. M. Ray left on Thursday morning of last week on a visit to friends in Wabash, his old home. This locality was visited by one of the most disagreeable snow storms we have had during the present winter, on last Sunday afternoon and night. Mr. Joseph A. Kindig returned from his trip to the east via the • Baltimore & Ohio railroad, on Friday afternoon of last week. Mr. Ketring visited Pittsburg, York and Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington District of Columbia, while absent and seems to be well pleased with

the trip. A petition was presented the commissioers at their session this week, asking that a road be granted on a line running south from Huntington street until it cresses the railroad, thence west through the lands of Martin Hilabold and Geo. Crocker until it intersected what is known as the “Huntington road. The roads were in a very muddy condition for a few days last week and a general thaw was anticipated. It became very cold again however in few days, and there being so much water standing upon the ground in the roads many places which became covered with ice, it was difficult to get about with a team. We heard one gentleman say that he was well onto a half day

Marshall Rentfrow has received a “Wanted notice” from the the sheriff at Kalamazoo, Mich, who offers a reward for the capture of a smooth swindler and forger who operates among real estate men. His method was to secure a deed of a farm for examination and to then forge signatures that would indicate a sale. His next step would be to place a mortgage on his alleged land. , Mr. and Mrs. Vern Younce and son, . Raymond, of Goshen, spent Sunday with Mr. arid Mrs. Frank Younce.
